Serve Washington executive director statement on AmeriCorps

Statement from Serve Washington Executive Director Trish Almond on federal cuts to AmeriCorps: 

“AmeriCorps programs are vital lifelines for communities across Washington. Ending these programs will not only disrupt services to schools, food banks, shelters, and other critical community outlets, but it will also adversely affect the AmeriCorps members and seniors who rely on timely engagement and support. The ripple effect of these delays could undermine community resilience and erode the trust and benefits built over years of service collaboration.”
